This is a 1984 LOW mileage Corvette. This car sat for 10 years and 2 and a half years ago was brought it back to the land of the living. When resurrected the radiator was changed to a larger one to help with cooling. Also, the brake booster and master was changed as well as cleaning the fuel system and changing the fuel pump with the 1985 pump. The 85 pump would keep a more even PSI in the upper RPM range where as the 84 pump would lose PSI the higher the RPM, hence the cross fire issues. Over the last 2 years I have had ZERO issues with the cross fire system. I bought this car with 66,xxx miles and have put 12k miles on it and no problems what so ever. I have also upgraded the A/C system from R-12 to 134A and it blows cold even on the hottest Florida days. I replaced with new: heater control valve, outer window seals, seat covers upper and lower, smog pump, water pump, belt, seat covers, floor mats, brake switch, tires (about 6500 to 7000 miles on them now), thermostat and just had the oil changed about 100 miles ago. This car drives great. Everything works to include the cruise control, LCD dash, lights roll properly, driver seat still works but is getting tired, windows still work good. The rear window defroster does not work. I can see the wire pulled out of the clip but it was never important enough for me to solder it back since it hardly ever gets cold enough here. Also, while the mechanic had it up in the air he said it would need rear bushings soon and I know Ecklers carries them for about $70 which is for both sides. that's about all that this car needs. It was painted Rosso Corsa (Ferrari) red with the white strip. The hash marks on the fender are painted on and not a decal. This is a great car and we have enjoyed it a lot. Time for someone else to enjoy it now and move on to my next project. I also have a 2003 883R with a lot of engine upgrades and will trade both for a 1999 or newer H D Ultra Classic. Just email me and I can go into more detail about the 883. The first $4500obo takes this car so now you know the reserve! Great car with ZERO issues on the cross fire. I have $5700 in this car-my loss is your gain

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
